Toilet would not flush. Toilet seat wobbled. AC(?) caused door rattling noise. Cleaning staff noisy outside. Phone did not work but staff responded promptly thru website. Very small shower area. No elevator and had to go thru 6 flights of stairs. Staff helped with luggage. Motion sensors for light unpredictable and sometimes left me in total darkness while moving around.

The building is quite old, with beautiful architecture and some quality antique bedroom furniture. There is no lift, but no problem! I am not the fittest person and this was noticed so my suitcase was carried up to the room - by a very polite young man called Marco who should go far in the hospitality trade. A very quiet location, even though it is only a stone's throw from Via Maqueda, one of the busiest streets in Palermo's historic centre. All in all, a great find - well done Expedia.

2 nuits :2 amies en chambre séparées octobre 2025

Hotel très propre. Joli carrelage très brillant dans l'entrée qui sert aussi au petit dejeuner. Lieu calme excellemment placé au coeur de Syracuse mais sans bruit , très appréciable la nuit. Lits confortables. J'ai particulièrement aimé qu'il y ait toujours quelqu'un à l'accueil de jour et de Nuit. Nous étions 2 femmes seules ,2 amies avec chacune sa chambre= Nous nous sommes senties accueillies et, en sécurité . Bon rapport qualité prix pour cet hôtel de centre ville juste à l'angle d'un rue piétonne très joyeuse et animée. Attention , pas d'ascenceur si vous avez une valise lourde et n'êtes plus si jeune . Juste 69 ans pour moi

La location était parfaite. Près de tout. La chambre minuscule et la salle de bain aussi. Le déjeuner était correct, il ne faut pas s'attendre à un déjeuner américain. Il était servi à partir de 7:30, ce qui nous a beaucoup plu. Les employés étaient en général peu sympathiques... très difficile de communiquer en anglais. Peu d'explications claires sur nos questions....

Le personnel est très agréable, l'hôtel très propre, le petit déjeuner copieux . Le café est excellent, ce qui est un vrai plus. Seul bémol: bien que situé à l'écart des rues animées, l'hôtel est très sonore. C'est dommage car il est très bien.

The staff were very accommodating and nice. The hotel is kept clean and they will give you anything that you ask for, as needed. (Just ask) A lot of construction going on in the area, it can make getting anywhere a little difficult, but you can navigate it with a little practice. Breakfast was good with a few choices that seem to follow Italian custom. It's charming inside and everyone is nice.

Personnel accueillant et hôtel propre. Pas d'ascenseur et surtout literie ne correspond pas du tout à un hôtel 3 étoiles. La salle d'eau est au standard des années 1980. L'hôtel est bien situé pour visiter Palerme à pieds, hors Monreale (taxi ou bus), la rue quant à elle, n'est pas spécialement attrayante. Le petit déjeuner n'est pas non plus digne d'un hôtel 3 étoiles. L'hôtel n'est pas non plus désagréable et le personnel est souriant mais à ce tarif, il y a certainement mieux.

The hotel is basic but rooms are clean, bed comfortable and the staff generally helpful. The breakfast is very poor indeed and leaves a lot to be desired - but this is not a problem given the price. You cannot expect 5 star luxury for the price of a 2 star. Also the hotel does not have a lift so not suitable for anybody with mobility issues.

We were there a total of six days in late September. The breakfast menu was unchanging the entire time. Unexciting! In keeping with hotel policy, we requested our room to be cleaned and the maid look ALL the dirty wet towels we had placed in the shower and rehung them on the towel holders!!!! We advised the front desk and it took some convincing to get him to get us clean towels.
